Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Today is the LAST chance to sign up for ACA plans for Jan 1 coverage. Republican leaders in Congress refused to extend critical subsidies, leaving millions of Floridians with skyrocketing premiums and unaffordable health insurance.

I’m praying for all of the victims, their families, and the entire Brown University community as it grieves this horrific act of gun violence.

How many more tragedies, more lives lost, more grieving families, before we act?

We can and we must end our gun violence epidemic.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The United States is the only developed country in the world where mass shootings continue to be a constant problem.

Republicans need to finally stand up to the gun lobby and join Democrats to pass real gun safety reforms that can save countless lives.

The housing crisis comes down to this: Not enough homes and the ones we have are too expensive.

My Housing BOOM Act would expand federal tax credits to help kickstart the next housing boom in America, and help Californians get housing they can afford.

“I can’t think of a remotely close parallel to a situation where the president of the United States basically demanded publicly that his Justice Department prosecute people who he dislikes for political reasons.” It’s a situation virtually unprecedented in U.S. history.

The Trump family is chasing another real estate deal in Saudi Arabia.

And the Saudis want a mutual defense agreement and access to U.S. nuclear technology.

Looks like Trump and the royal family will both win, with our national security for sale. The only losers? The American people.

The Trump Administration will go to any length — including appeal to the highest court in the land — if it means they can cut off food for hungry people.
